On April 20 and 21 and May 4 and 5, Middleburgh Jr. Sr. High School will be administering the New York State Assessments to grades 5-8. These assessments will provide the district with valuable information to help guide instruction and provide support for students in need. There are a couple items to review:
-
- We are only administering Section 1 of the assessments. This section contains only multiple choice items.
- Grades 5 and 6 will take the paper-based assessment for ELA and math.
- Grades 7 and 8 will take the computer-based assessments for ELA and math.
- All students in grades 5-8 are required to come to school to participate in the assessment.
- There will not be a remote option available nor will there be any penalization for students who do not feel safe coming into the building.
The dates of the assessments are as followed:
-
- 5 and 6 ELA – April 20
- 7 and 8 ELA – April 21
